Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Aromatics

  • 1 pound Italian sausage (mild or spicy)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 medium onion, chopped

Liquids and Sauces

  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups Alfredo sauce (preferably fresh)

Pasta and Cheese

  • 6 lasagna noodles, broken into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Greens and Seasoning

  • 2 cups fresh spinach or basil leaves
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Brown the sausage: In a large pot over medium heat, cook the Italian sausage until browned and cooked through, building a rich and flavorful base for the soup.
  2. Sauté garlic and onion: Add minced garlic and chopped onion to the pot and cook until fragrant and translucent, creating a savory foundation that enhances the creamy sauce.
  3. Add broth and Alfredo sauce: Pour in the chicken broth and Alfredo sauce, stirring to combine. Bring the soup to a gentle simmer to blend the creamy richness with the broth evenly.
  4. Incorporate broken lasagna noodles: Add the broken lasagna noodles to the simmering soup. Cook until the noodles are tender but still have a slight bite, absorbing the flavors of the sauce.
  5. Stir in fresh greens and cheese: Just before serving, mix in fresh spinach or basil to wilt gently. Finish by sprinkling grated Parmesan cheese on top for an authentic lasagna flavor.

Notes

  • Use freshly made Alfredo sauce if possible for better creaminess and flavor.
  • Do not overcook noodles to avoid mushiness; remove from heat as soon as tender.
  • Season gradually, as sausage and Parmesan add enough saltiness.
  • Optionally add a splash of heavy cream at the end for extra richness.
  • Choose mild sausage for balanced flavor, adding spice separately if desired.
